Glass Art's 2012-2013 Directory to Industry Suppliers is dedicated to making the buying and selling process between artists, retailers, and suppliers mutually beneficial. "Offering the print directory with the online directory increases return on investment with print," says Glass Art publisher Maureen James. "Even though it is two different databases, it still makes sense. The online directory is yet one more way for customers to find your business, and your inclusion increases your ranking in the search engines. Customers can also find your physical location with the Google map and go right to your website at the exact time they are interested in the product or service"
